Qantas crew UFO report at 41°S 167°E — 13 January

A military signal records follow-up points from an interview concerning a UFO sighting by a Qantas crew led by Captain Shannon on 13 January. At the time recorded in the signal, the aircraft was at approximately 41° south, 167° east, on course 275 magnetic at 20,000 feet shortly after sunset. Weather information in the message includes stratiform cloud tops near 7,500 feet, otherwise clear conditions and long visibility. The surviving page does not make the year or the remainder of the sighting sequence sufficiently explicit, so those elements remain unresolved.
